- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Honey

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh mint leaves and coriander leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

In a blender or food processor, add the mint leaves, coriander leaves, plain Greek yogurt, green chili, garlic clove, ginger piece, lemon juice, cumin powder, black pepper, and honey.
Step 3
Add the water to the blender or food processor to help with blending.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium intention.

Transfer the mint sauce to a serving bowl or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
